Donned rubber boots with pants tucked in & covered myself with lemon eucalyptus oil for the 1 minute trek to my compost pile and back. Still got a lonestar tick bite…on my shoulder under my t-shirt sleeve. 🙄 #tennessee

Things to love about the #StanleyCupPlayoffs: a Game 6 where both teams’ goalies are run out of the net! The next most exciting thing is there should be a Game 7…Montreal vs Buffalo on Monday (Unless the Habs get 4 goals in the next 8 minutes)

I was working this game in Buffalo for the national broadcast. It was a pretty special moment. www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...

Anyone else watching the first episode of #DesignatedSurvivor on repeat for the next 2 days?

This is absolutely amazing.

Powerful. More of this please Boss.

I play a silly game inside of Wordle where I ask a question like “how’s my day going to be?” & see how the puzzle relates. Today I asked “how do we get the country back to normal?”

I am working backstage at a corporate event watching the waitstaff bring dishes that this wealthy crowd probably won’t finish. Wondering how many workers are laid off Fed employees, or SNAP recipients who are going without. My bet is quite a few.

Read the (bath)room 🍊💩stain. 🙄🤦‍♀️ People are about to be forced by your regime to starve —in America — and you’re bragging about spending our money to renovate a perfectly fine bathroom.

A favorite slogan to come from the last election cycle in our very red area of #Tennessee is “It’s not radical to care about people”. Sadly we are all going to have to pitch in to keep our neighbors from starving (in America! 🤦‍♀️) If your area is doing a food drive, please post about it to amplify.

Shocked, but pleased, to go thru the Atlanta airport today & the monitors where #PuppyKiller #CosPlayDHSBarbie Krusti Noem is usually spouting politicized nonsense are dark. Small steps in a red/purplish state.

Seriously @lawfaremedia.org, why are you giving this guy oxygen? #Unsubscribe

If our beloved Dolly Parton slips this mortal coil before some of the most hated evil members of the 🍊💩stain regime, the #EtsyWitches are gonna have a lot to answer for.

The Dutch can still do this, and it is brilliant! #Disney #NewDisney

Or more likely, the people walking by are whispering “fuck you fuck you fuck you”.

Oh #Tennessee, you really helped put people like this in charge, mostly by not voting. 🤦‍♀️ A lot of excuses coming out of the mouth of someone trying to take away full #library access in Sumner County.

Checking in with a new doctors office & choosing an #Ethnicity is a mandatory selection on their kiosk. All of the choices are #Hispanic or “declined to specify”. (Everyone should decline to specify.) What have we become?

This real church sign sums up several problems in our country. “We love hurting people” Really? 🤦‍♀️ How about “we care about people who are hurting”? Unless you do love hurting people. It is a #Tennessee church, so that is possible.

#SouthCarolina should send its candidate-hopefuls for Governor to investigate. Tell #NancyMace that the wasps are using the “wrong” bathroom and she’ll be the first one in (and first one stung).

And they wonder why people don’t want to bring children into this world … especially now. Every day is a new addition to the hellscape.

Spent my evening with 25 foster kids ages 2-13 to give their caregivers a break. The kids were so great, even when the AC went out. I know there are going to be so many more in the system who won’t get solid care, especially here in TN. We have a messed up world & kids are going to suffer most.

Now seems the time to repost this big story we did a few years ago... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I will keep this on all night so they know that someone is watching! Charge your phones and listen with me. Supposed to take about 15 hours to read the whole thing.

President Biden and Vice President Harris hold hands next to Governor Walz and his wife at the funeral service of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman. It hurts to see what could have been.🥹 May we all soon see the day our nation is led with decency and kindness once again. #Respect

Los Angeles and Vicinity Residents:

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

The #UFC fight is on in the hotel bar & I just saw the U.S Secretary of State throw a White Supremacy hand sign (while standing next to Eric tRump). Wave with the left hand, Okay/W sign with his right. What a POS #LiddleMarco has become. I left before the 🍊💩stain came on.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman always comes off as such a douche. Even the ASL interpreter on this presser can’t quite cover it up for him. 🏒🤦‍♀️😬💩

Lure him to The Hague and put him on trial!

Lots of severe weather here in Middle TN. Flipping thru local channels & they seem less equipped for this than usual. Show a tree down during active tornado warnings? 🤦‍♀️ Gonna be getting my info from @nashseverewx.com going forward. @altnoaa.bsky.social are you seeing this problem in your area?

Is Sovereignty over Journalism a bit too on the nose for our current times?

So now the #MelonFelon is all-in on #ElectricVehicles? (Or is he still just all-in on pardoning criminals like himself?) Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/b...

My “representative” announced he will run for Tennessee Governor (vs Marsha Blackburn). He’s seen here with his sons & wife — not the age appropriate one in red, but the one who looks like she’d be the teenage nanny … he met her in her high school FFA program. #GroomerOldParty

My President was inspirational accepting the Chairman’s Award in the #NAACPImageAwards. Sad to know what we could have had. Happy to help in the fight.

The #MelonFelon is glad handing at the #Daytona500. He brought a granddaughter. She’s about 6 and wearing a white MAGA hat … and a sparkly rainbow on her dress. Surprised he let her stand near him. Must be tiny Ivanka.

There’s a nice distraction on TV tonight: the original first episode of @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social In its entirety … wish it had original commercials.

Looks like tRump is going to the #Daytona500 Sunday as they announced “enhanced security” along with earlier green flag. Let’s see how long NASCAR’s EV initiative lasts once the #MelonFelon gets wind of their efforts.

So this happened in Nashville this weekend: Kid Rock storms off stage when people don’t participate in his show. Somebody is a grand ol’ snowflake. May the clap take him and his orange buddy away soon.

My Uber driver this a.m. in NYC was from Uzbekistan with a wife& 2 little boys … one who was born in U.S. As he worked on his English with me, we talked about how to stay safe in a country with disdain for immigrants. I told him he can find support but to be careful. My 💙 goes out to all of them.

Americans won’t need to worry about a shortage of weight loss drugs under the #MelonFelon Deportation of migrants = no food No vaccines nor unapproved health alerts = 50% of us dead anyway

Stole this concept from a bumper sticker & put it on several “religious friends” FB posts about their lord & savior #MelonFelon. All of them <liked> it without ever reading the actual Psalm. Feel free to steal it and post it yourselves. It’s moderately satisfying (and we’ll take all we can get!)

Taking a social media break for a bit. Wearing black to mourn the loss of our democracy. At least I will be in Atlanta for work and can find an #MLK event to honor a good man. After 248 years, America, the Series Finale.

Dreamt last night I had an old auntie who was afraid to go out in the cold. Had to help her up the stairs to get into bed where she stayed until she died. It was tRump in a nightgown. (Really…the auntie in my dream had his <awful> face!)

Prepping my annual Groundhog Day card mailing to about 300 colleagues, friends & family. Some cards get cool stamps like D&D or “Thanks HealthCare Community”, others are getting U.S. flag stamps placed thusly on the envelope. I’m either part of the #Resistance (or a #SCOTUS spouse 🤦‍♀️)

My heart is breaking for so many reasons during President Carter’s Capitol service. Sadness overwhelms me as VP Harris speaks because of what we could have had with her. Tearful knowing there will be no leader as kind & humble as Jimmy Carter ever again.

There is a lot of musical talent in Nashville. Why are they having Jelly Roll & Lainey Wilson sing practically everything tonight on the #CMAawards ?

Bounce my quad espresso down the steps at work before I even had 3 sips of it. 🤦‍♀️ It’s my adult equivalent of dropping your ice cream cone. 🍦☕️
